On voodling ontology

A voodler - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art; Voodling is nothing more than a guided dream... Life itself is a quotation."Continuing his quest for a plausible voodle ontology, Sam Renseiw took a short detour to the north, for a friendly and very inspiring assessment of visual bouts of Body and Space morphologies.

it was such a fine experience seeing the work produced in your course and so very inspiring indeed.

(funny how familiar spaces can become oneiric when voodled - but then again i always had great affection for the place... having seen it in decay, (and worked there while assessing diplomas) under reconstruction and finally in function. all the spaces are the sum of the many layers of the lives and activities there...

About Me

'Pataphysics, an absurdist concept coined by the French writer Alfred Jarry, is a philosophy dedicated to studying what lies beyond the realm of metaphysics. Defined as: "The science of imaginary solutions, which symbolically attributes the properties of objects, described by their virtuality, to their lineaments". SPACETWO : PATALAB has functioned in this spirit since 2005 as a dynamic, experimental visual / spatial research laboratory run by SAM RENSEIW. Laced with quotes and useful links, Patalab02 is a forum for subtle, intriguing, complex, enchantingly moving imagery experiments exploring body-space morphologies and other architectures. Enjoy!
